Description:
Join us on April 9, from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Modeling Tailings Dam Failures with 2-Phase FLow. This webinar will cover the following:
- Failure modes of a tailing dam. Discussion of recent tailings dam failures.
- Use of Tailings Dam Tool and regression equations to estimate volume releases.
- Simulate tailings dam breach including tailings material and water volume using a two-phase flow model.
- Predict downstream mudflow inundation.
- Simulate mudflow – fluid exchange with scour and deposition, downstream tributary inflow and mudflow into lakes and reservoirs.
- Predict sediment routing by size fraction, and mudflow cessation and re-mobilization.
- Set up a project using QGIS and the FLO-2D model. Application of the Tailings Dam Tool.
- Mudflow Hazard Mapping.
Learning objectives attendees will receive from this webinar:
- Understand potential failure modes of tailing dams.
- Learn about basic data and key factors for tailing dam failure modeling.
- Simulate tailing dam failures using a two-phase flow model.
- Review mapping and analysis of results.
